A day out in January

 The timber order for the table I'm making was ready so, as the delivery cost for a small order was expensive, I went to Shepton Mallet to collect it - and to make the fuel and time cost worthwhile added a trip to the Haynes Motor Museum.  That's Haynes as in the publisher of car and other manuals - a collection of about 300 cars.

 

The warehouse at Timbersource - the saws and planers etc were at the back of the building, I couldn't go round there - my timber is on the upper shelf of the rack on the right hand side.

. . .  and at the Haynes Museum there was a  C-registration, 1965 Austin Mini in Island Blue.   This is the same as my first car, HLC823C, in the identical colour, purchased in June 1965.

Having had a past love affair with Land Rovers I thought this door hanging on the wall in the museum cafe was good fun!

All in all a great day out - albeit that it started to rain heavily when I reached Gloucester going south on the M5 and it didn't stop all day, becoming even heavier on the northbound return. 
If it hadn't been raining I was also going visit the Fleet Air Arm Museum at nearby Yeovilton - my previous visit was in the very hot summer of 1976.
